Olson was an impressive catcher in attendance – running a 7.17 time in the 60-yard dash, popping an event-best 1.97 with throws at 75 mph, all while showing well in the right-handed box. From a stock setup, and a buried frontside, he created an 80 percent sweet spot rate, up to 91.6 mph off the bat, creating 73.8 mph max barrel speed. While Olson could benefit from a few ticks on his exit, he made advanced moves in the box, and looked the part of a player who can handle different types and looks.
